far from rare, but imported from the Continent." (Winch, 

 in Flo. N. D.) Is it still found at Sunderland, or has it 

 become extinct there ? In the Materials for a Fauna and 

 Flora of Swansea, Dillwyn remarks that, in the Swansea 

 Guide, this is said to grow on limestone rocks and pastures 

 at Port Eynon, where a white variety of E. vulgar e may 

 have been mistaken for it ; as, indeed, has been the case in 

 some other counties also.

 unknown in Britain proper.

Area [12]. 



Incognit ? Introduced into the Catalogue of British 

 Plants, published by the Botanical Society of Edinbm-gh, 

 in 1841. In the Phytologist for 1843, vol. i. 310, we are 

 infoi-med by Mr. C. C. Babington, that it is " an apparently 

 distinct species, found by Mr. Jos. Woods in a valley near 

 Helvellyn, and called by this name, of which there is no 

 trace in any of the works to which I [C. C. B.] have 

 access." But in the Manual of British Botany, published 

 in the same year, the same writer informs us that " P. 

 longicomis (Ed. Cat.) must be erased, having been intro- 

 duced through a mistake." Are we to understand from 

 these statements, that Mr. Woods did not find Gay's spe- 

 cies ? — or, that he did not find any " apparently distinct 

 species ? " If the former reading be correct, what did Mr. 

 Woods find ?
